ATTENTION EVERYONE New Community Standards
Big news - our revised Community Standards are finally online. Please access them on the footer of the page, towards the right-hand edge.....
The main point of differentiation between NYYFans and most other sports forums is the sense of community that has been fostered here, since our site was founded many years ago. In order to maintain this atmosphere, we must hold posters to certain basic expectations when participating here.....
To this end, we will be conducting a relaunch of our Community Standards over the next 30 days. During this time, the Moderating Team will be pointing out posts and behaviors that run afoul of these standards and gently reminding community members to reference them. We do, however, reserve the right to suspend and/or ban users during this time for violations of the standards that obviously warrant this type of action. Upon the conclusion of this soft-launch (December 13, 2017), the expectation will be full compliance with the Community Standards and violations of these standards will be dealt with in a more decisive manner.

Cellular engineering of protein expression hosts
Cellular engineering of protein expression hosts provides the ability to modify proteins in a site specific and controlled fashion—something increasingly important for the development of therapeutic proteins. We are developing methods by which cells are genetically engineered to incorporate sugars on a recombinant protein in a site-specific sequence dependent manner. Once a sugar is positioned on a given protein, conventional chemical modification such as PEGlylation can be used to further modify the protein and improve its therapeutic properties.

Ever wonder what drives crusading field journalist Carl Monday? He didn't just pursue the Mike Cooper library case out of thin air; there had to be an underlying force, some childhood trauma, perhaps, which would cause him in later life to obsess over a perfectly ordinary human function. We wonder what that could have been? What psychologically tumultuous event from his distant memory served to push him toward investigative reporting in a trenchcoat? Hmmm.
Actually our little film appears to be too recent to be depicting Carl Monday, we think. But a young Sean Salisbury is entirely possible.

Newberry Renaissance Consortium Grants
Faculty and graduate students from Center for Renaissance Studies consortium institutions may be eligible to apply for travel funding to participate in Center for Renaissance Studies programs or to conduct research at the Newberry Library. Recipients of these funds may include the award on their curriculum vitae as a "Newberry Renaissance Consortium Grant."
Funding may also be available to attend programs or do research at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC. These awards may be listed on CVs as a "Newberry Renaissance Consortium Grant for seminar participation/research at the Folger Institute." Please see our Folger Agreement for more details.
Each member institution sets its own policies, requirements, and deadlines for granting funds; some may limit eligibility to specific departments, colleges, or other units within the university. Contact your consortium faculty representative in advance for details and authorization.
Travel Reimbursement Grants
To receive reimbursement after the fact for travel, lodging, meals, and other expenses, download and complete in detail the appropriate form below. Either have the form signed by your faculty representative; include a separate letter from the representative authorizing reimbursement; or have your representative send an email authorizing the expense to firstname.lastname@example.com. Mail the form along with the original receipts (note that photocopies of receipts are no longer accepted) to the address on the form.
Research or Program Stipend Grants
Often when faculty members or graduate students plan an extended trip to the Newberry or Folger, the consortium committee at their institution awards them a stipend of a set amount, which they usually receive in advance.
To award a stipend, the consortium faculty representative should send a letter or email authorizing the grant to the Center for Renaissance Studies, including the following information:
- The amount of the stipend
- The recipient's name and address

LAS VEGAS — The Playboy Club at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas has closed.
Nightclub management firm N9NE (NINE) Group issued a statement Monday confirming the permanent closure.
Company spokeswoman Ashli Kimenker says there has been no announcement yet about other plans for the space at the high-rise casino west of the Strip.
The casino and Playboy Enterprises said in March that the closure was amicable, and that the parties planned to "pursue new brand opportunities in Las Vegas nightlife."
The Playboy Club at the Palms opened in October 2006, with women dressed in bunnies dealing cards.
At the time, it was the first Playboy Club to open since 1988, when patriarch Hugh Hefner closed the last one in Lansing, Mich.
Others have since opened in Macau, Cancun and London.

A man lauded by supporters of marijuana legalization for going door-to-door this summer on behalf of a ballot question to legalize pot in a Michigan town faces felony charges of selling the drug.
The arrest of Andrew Cissell, 25, on five counts of marijuana delivery could invalidate the election results this fall, said Cherilynn Brown, city clerk for the Detroit suburb of Ferndale.
"It's going to be on the ballots — they've already been printed," Brown said Thursday.
Whether the votes count will depend on rulings by county election authorities and county prosecutors, Brown said. The issue, she said, is that officials don't know whether Cissell was a Ferndale resident when he circulated and filed the petitions.
Brown said Cissell registered a Ferndale address at a Secretary of State branch office June 10 and started collecting signatures two days later. Ferndale Police Chief Tim Collins said evidence in the marijuana delivery investigation showed Cissell lived mainly in an Oak Park home that he owns.
Cissell, who was released Wednesday from the Oakland County Jail following his arrest Sept. 9, said only that he'd hired an attorney.
"To be honest with you, at this current point in time, me and my lawyer can't say anything," he said Thursday.
The Oakland County Prosecutor's Office deferred questions about the election to the county clerk's office, where an election official said he was unable to comment.
The Ferndale ballot proposal would amend the city code to allow anyone 21 or older "to possess, use or transfer" up to an ounce of marijuana on private property, according to the ballot language. Cissell had turned in enough signed petitions July 30 to get the issue on the ballot.
At the time, he said he planned to run for state representative next year in the district that covers Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge and Huntington Woods, aiming to make marijuana legalization a statewide issue.
Cissell's arrest followed an investigation by the Oakland County Narcotics Enforcement Team, Collins said.
An informant made three purchases of marijuana at Cissell's Oak Park home, Collins said. Police raided that home, another Oak Park home where Cissell had belongings and his Ferndale address, finding marijuana growing outside and inside the Oak Park homes, Collins said.
Cissell faces up to five years in prison for each of the charges. He is a state-registered medical-marijuana user and caregiver, but when arrested, he had more marijuana in his possession than the state medical marijuana act allows, Collins said.
Cissell's arrest was called disappointing but not a setback for those who want to see an end to marijuana arrests and investigative raids.
"This issue is going to win overwhelmingly" among Ferndale voters, said Tim Beck, 61, of Detroit, who helped fund the petition campaign on behalf of the Safer Michigan Coalition. The group has put identical proposals on ballots in Jackson and Lansing.
"Oakland County never would've investigated this young man if he hadn't been the one to get this on the ballot," Beck said. "I think the voters of Ferndale are going to reject this kind of bullying by the Oakland County sheriff."

brocade brōkād´ [key], fabric, originally silk, generally reputed to have been developed to a high state of perfection in the 16th and 17th cent. in France, Italy, and Spain. In China the weaving of silk, which dates from the Shang dynasty, developed into complex patterns including moiré, damask, and brocade. Brocade is characterized by a compact warp-effect background with one or more fillings used in the construction to make the motif or figure. The filling threads, often of gold or silver in the original fabrics of this name, float in embossed or embroidered effects in the figures. Motifs may be of flowers, foliage, scrollwork, pastoral scenes, or other design. Its uses include curtaining, hangings, pillows, portieres, evening wraps, and church vestments. Similar techniques are used in the manufacture of brocades made of cotton and synthetic fibers.

Letter riles Mastic Beach homeowners
Some Mastic Beach homeowners are outraged about a letter from village officials threatening to block home sales if they do not allow inspectors in to examine the structure for damage from superstorm Sandy.
The letter sent to about 700 homeowners in flood zones on Feb. 25 also threatens to "hold up" title searches, certificates of occupancy and mortgages if residents do not comply by March 31.
Village Mayor Bill Biondi said he would extend the deadline for about six months, but he says the letter's message is legal.
Village board attorney Brian Egan acknowledged the letter was unclear, but he suggested that homeowners overreacted.
After Sandy hit Oct. 29, New York State, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and village inspectors conducted a "rapid assessment" of homes in flood areas, to determine their relative safety, but it was not considered a thorough analysis of damage, village officials said.
Because inspectors examined only building exteriors, homeowners were advised in writing to contact the village to determine whether $50 building permits would be needed for insulation and Sheetrock repair.
Residents were given until the end of the month to comply or face obstacles with title searches, certificates of occupancy or selling their homes.
At the village board meeting last week, homeowners -- some of whom claimed no flood damage -- said the village was violating their privacy rights by demanding entrance into homes.
Biondi later acknowledged that a "strong letter was sent out. Did we offend some people's rights? I don't think it's against anyone's rights. I'm trying to do the right thing."
He said village officials seek to prevent someone from fraudulently selling a damaged home.
Robin Charlow, constitutional and criminal law professor at Hofstra University, said the letter may have overstepped legal bounds. It also coerces residents to voluntarily give up their right against search without a warrant, she said. "The letter is bad political and social policy, and it could have been done in a much more reasonably and neighborly way," Charlow said.
Egan, the village board attorney, said the letter should have noted, for example, that homeowners can have a professional engineer or electrician certify the home as safe.

Edgar Cayce and the
Egyptian Book of the Dead
By Alison Ray
The Book of the Dead (the Book) is the generic name of a set of ancient Egyptian funerary texts. According to archaeologists and scientists, the oldest dates from about 2400 BC and was discovered in the Pyramid of King Unas. The format of these texts varied and included pyramid wall carvings and painted design, elaborate images on coffins, and illustrated papyrus scrolls that were placed in the coffin or burial chamber of the deceased. A majority of the Books discovered date from 1550 BC to 50 BC. Each Book was created for an individual and would include his or her name and different chapters or "spells" with instructions to help the deceased navigate the Duat or underworld. Today, there are a recognized 192 different spells. These continue to reveal insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs about the nature of death and the afterlife.
The name The Book of the Dead has been used since 1842 when Karl Richard Lepsius published the first complete translation of a manuscript dated to the Ptolemaic dynasty. E.A. Wallis Budge's version of The Book of the Dead, originally published in 1895, is still in wide circulation. The correct translation for the title of this text should be The Book of Coming Forth by Day or The Book of Emerging Forth Into the Light as it covers the Egyptians' view of the afterlife. Edgar Cayce mentioned the book by name only eight times in his psychic readings, but he stressed the importance of the study and understanding of this material to our own spiritual and soul growth.
The Book describes the afterlife using a myriad of symbols and gods common to the Egyptian religion. The chapters of The Book were used in conjunction with mummification and ritual to preserve and transform the physical body and spirit. Egyptians recognized varied aspects of the soul, including the "ba" or spirit that was free to leave the tomb and the "ka" or life-force that was the individual personality of the deceased, and the "shut" or shadow. The traditionally held belief is that the Egyptians worshiped many gods, but I believe we will one day correctly understand that they were using symbols to explain differing facets of a single God, much the same as they viewed different aspects of a single Soul.
One of the best known rituals from The Book of the Dead is the Weighing of the Heart. The deceased was led by the god Anubis into the presence of Osiris to declare that they had not committed any sins against the moral code of the society. Then, the heart of the deceased was weighed against the Feather of Truth from the goddess Ma'at. The god Thoth recorded the results into the individual's Book of Life. If the heart was too heavy, it was eaten by the god Ammit and the deceased would then need a new heart to try the process again.
In April, 1933, an Architect asked Mr. Cayce if he would benefit from "study of the occult sciences" and if any particular book would be helpful. Mr. Cayce responded, "The study of those things pertaining to the early Egyptian activities…preferably for the entity…study the Book of the Dead." (Reading 322-2) The reading also stated that The Book was much older than currently believed.
Other life readings were given for individuals who were responsible for writing The Book circa 10,500 BC in Egypt. Ms. 115, a housewife in 1930, was responsible for "…learning the peoples first…chant for the dead…and the Book of the Dead were a portion of the entity's own inscribing." A different housewife, Ms. 454, was told that she was an entertainer and instrumental in "…writing much that is now a portion of the Book of the Dead."
A 1931 reading for Dr. 1924, a naturopathic physician, metaphysician, consultant, and lecturer, indicated that many of the rituals he compiled in the "study of the relationships of individuals to individuals, and of individuals' relationship to the whole or to the Creative Energy" later became the ritual in the Book of the Dead.
A reading for another homemaker, Ms. 706, in 1934 suggested that she "would do well to study even the Book of the Dead, as it was called in the present—yet in that experience it was rather the Book of Life…it represents…the experience of a soul in its sojourn not only in…the land of night, but rather those things that make for the cleansing of a physical body for…expression through the senses or the emotions in the physical forces to the spiritual truths."
What I found to be the most insightful reading, and also the most difficult to understand, was a reading given in 1925 for Mr. Cayce himself. The reading opened with a question of how the "first laws concerning man's relations to the Higher Forces" was given to the people.
Mr. Cayce's answer in reading 5748-2:
"The first laws…partook…of the study of self, the division of mind, the division of the solar systems, the division of man in the various spheres of existence through the earth plane and through the earth's solar system. The Book of the Dead…being the first of those that were written as the inscribed conditions necessary for the development in earth or in spirit planes. These, as we see, covered many various phases. About these were set many different ones to give the interpretation of same to the peoples in the various spheres that the individuals dwelled in that came together. Hence the difference in the manner of approaching the same sacrificial conditions…all using the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, as the emblems of the conditions necessary for the knowledge of those elements…same as the fish representing the water from which all were drawn out…"
Alison Ray works as marketing manager for Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. where she is responsible for membership, public information, Venture Inward, and the Web. Before moving from Chicago to Virginia Beach, she was the Assistant Vice President of Discover Home Loans, a private label mortgage program under Morgan Stanley, offering home equity loans to Discover Cardmembers. A long-time Egypt enthusiast, she regularly practices meditation and Tai Chi, teaches Sunday School, and makes jewelry.

Professors offer new twist on faith in science
PLAINVIEW - As Joel Boyd completed a research project while studying as a graduate student at Rice University in Houston, he quickly realized how difficult it is to mix Christian beliefs with modern science.
Working with his research group to determine how water behaves in small pools, Boyd stumbled across "a really great result." But when he started to publish the study his advisor wanted to include how this result would have been key in the evolution of life.
"I was not willing to state it that way," Boyd said.
Although the difference of opinion didn't cause any major problems, Boyd said it was an example of some of the things scientists who are Christians (not to be confused with Christian Scientists) face every day.
"A prime example is the Texas Tech professor who recently made the news for refusing to recommend people of faith for graduate programs in biology because you cannot explicitly endorse his evolutionary view of biology," Boyd said. "He believes you are not capable of being a functional biologist."
Dr. Boyd, a 1997 graduate of Wayland Baptist University with B.S. degrees in math and chemistry, received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Rice in 2002. He is now an assistant professor of chemistry at Wayland and is trying to prepare his students for the trials they will face as Christians in a scientific world.
Boyd hit upon the idea of teaching a class such as this while talking with a member of his research group at Rice. She told him of a class she had taken at a Christian university in Arkansas that dealt with the subject matter.
"I thought that was a neat idea and would be something that would be fun to do some day," Boyd said. "Now I find myself teaching in Christian academics and this is my golden chance."
To that end, Boyd has teamed with Instructor of Mathematics Scott Franklin to offer a class dealing with faith in science.
"We want them to have dealt with these issues that can be very trying for a person with Christian faith before they are out there in the secular world," Boyd said.
Franklin, a 1998 Wayland graduate who received his master's degree from Texas Tech, was quick to join Boyd in the classroom. He said a particular point of interest is that scientists cannot separate their personal beliefs from their method of science.
"The fact that you believe there is a creator may have an influence on the choices that you make on what you decide to study," Franklin said. "A scientist, no matter how hard he tries, is never going to be able to separate his worldview from his method of science.
"We are trying to introduce students to some of these views they are going to see. If you go to any state university, you are going to see very naturalistic and even anti-religion, anti-faith perspectives where they think any belief in a god is interfering with your science. They think you have to abandon that to be a true scientist."
The team disagrees with that notion, saying there is room for Christian beliefs in the world of science, especially when discussing the theory of intelligent design. Franklin said intelligent design is a modern theory dealing with all the "little peculiar details in science" and how they work together to point to a designer.
"There is a principal in physics that everything is losing order in some sense," Franklin said. "But at the same time we still have so much obvious design that there are small details working together and it is very impossible that by some chance this could just happen.
"There isn't another explanation for why such fine-tuning exists in nature."
Still, the professors aren't trying to stand before the class and tell them there is only one way to believe.
"It is not a typical lecture class in that we are not teaching 'this is how to believe,'" Franklin said. "We are giving students the opportunity to explore the interaction that a scientist will have with his faith."
Boyd and Franklin said co-teaching is the only way to approach a class like this. It allows professors with somewhat differing views to better interact with the students. Dr. Adam Reinhart, assistant professor of biological and earth sciences, will join the teaching group and be very involved when the class begins to discuss medical ethics and biological issues.
"One point that is nice about co-teaching the class is that on some subjects, Joel and I are very different in what we believe. We are not coming at it from the same direction. It makes it very interesting to be able to present some of these perspectives because our viewpoints are very different," Franklin said.
In its inaugural offering, the class has been a success, not only for the students, but for the professors as well.
"I have learned a lot, not only in my preparations for the class, but I have also learned a lot by listening to the students talk," Boyd said. "It has not been a one-way street at all. They have done a great job of being involved in the class."
Both instructors said there is no definite answer to the problems Christian scientists will face as they continue their study, but they are hoping to open their eyes to the viewpoints that are out there.
"My goal is to try and expose students to the ideas that are out there so, when the time comes and they face the challenge and they are in those situations, they already know where they stand and why," Boyd said.

May 31, 1929 This afternoon at two o'clock the doors of the Special Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum will be thrown open to the public. This event is the opening of the Special Summer Exhibition of Paintings, Sculpture and Drawings by American and Foreign Artists, which will be on view until October 1st. Following the regular policy of the Museum, Mr. Herbert B. Tschudy, Curator of Paintings, and Dr. William Henry Fox, Director of the Museum, invited 26 artists to send their works to make up a summer exhibition. This year the complexion of the show is decidedly international as artists are represented in it whose origins are Russia, China, Japan, Hungary, Italy, France, Germany, Mexico, Palestine and the United States. The large exhibition gallery on the third floor is devoted entirely to the snow, which consists of nearly 370 exhibits. This exhibition is especially interesting to the public as it gives them a chance to really see and study a man's work, as each exhibitor is given ample space to show ten or fifteen works. In this way the public can become thoroughly acquainted with each individual's work and can compare it with an adequate display of work by other artists. The exhibition follows the policy of bringing forward work which has not been generally seen before and also of showing things which aroused special interest during the last season, both in and out of New York. The artists who will make up this exhibition are: Harriet Blackstone, Kenneth Frazier, Arthur C. Goodwin, Hans von Hayek, Berta de Hellebranth, EIena de Hellebranth, Fritz Herpfer, Malvina Hoffman, Frank Horowitz, Kowhoo Ishii, C. A. Korthaus, Bessie Lasky, Jean-Julien Lemordant, Ernst Liebermann, Edward Michael McKey, Faust Vittoria Mengarini, Ugo Mochi, Hans Neumann, Israel Paldi, Roland Rolando, Rubin, Rudolf Scheffler, Kwei Teng, Lajos Tihanyi, Isabel Whitney and Angel Zarraga.

June 3, 1929 To the Art Editor:
Preparations are now completed for the Editors of the art pages of the New York papers to view the Summer Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibition is hung and numbered and catalogues are available.
We are, therefore, extending to you this invitation to come any time that may suit your convenience to view this show.
We are sure you will find it a very interesting exhibition, as it is highly international in character and follows the Museum's usual policy of bringing forward work which has not been shown before and other work that has aroused considerable interest but which has not necessarily been generally seen in New York City.
It has the virtue of being a non-jury exhibition as it has been gathered together entirely by Mr. Tschudy, Curator of Paintings, who is in touch with artists and the art movements in this country.

June 3, 1929 THE SUMMER EXHIBITION
This exhibition is the annual summer event at the Brooklyn Museum. It is one of the largest and most popular non-jury shows in the city, as the invitations to exhibit are extended by Mr. Tschudy, Curator of Paintings, based on his wide acquaintance with artists and interesting developments which has has observed. In many cases he has brought forward people whose work has not been generally known before and in others he has shown work which has caused considerable stir during the past season but which was not generally seen in New York City. This year the exhibition is extremely international in character, as the foreword of the catalogue shows. The names of the artists and the number of exhibits are given in the catalogue. We give below what facts are available on the several artists. Photographs may be obtained from Miss Sparks in the publicity office on the fourth floor of the Museum.
The work of Kenneth Frazier is well known in this country. He is a member of the National Academy and his work can be described as conservatively modern. He occupies himself with scenes of the Hudson River and is also a portrait painter.
The impression made on Boston by Mr. Arthur C. Goodwin's first exhibition was that there had appeared in this conservative New England city a modern impressionist who must have been studying abroad. Greatly to everyone's surprise, it was found that he was a New Englander and a business man, who had not done anything in the fine until he was 35, when he began work on his first pastel.
As an emotional interpreter on canvas of American streets he has become a devotee of the dynamic qualities of the streets and water fronts of New York and Boston. He expects to leave shortly for Europe to try his facile brushes on the streets of Europe.
The two Hellebranth sisters, Elena and Berta, compose one of the most delightful pairs of artist that one is likely to run across. Their method of painting always arouses astonished comment as they invariably paint together on the same subject. The resulting works are interesting for their different interpretations.
Their father, who is a well-known doctor in Hungary, has always encouraged his daughters' talents. Their first study was at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest, where they studied under Stephen Csok. On completion of their courses there, they held an exhibition and then studied in Paris, Italy, Vienna and Berlin. By living in the capitals of Europe they have become versatile linguists. Besides being painters of ability, they are interested in designing and producing hand-wrought jewelry. They also do some writing and are throughly acquainted with music, the advantages of which they have always had in their home. Their mother often plays for them while they are playing.
When they expressed a strong desire to come to the United States their father immediately acquiesced and decided that the whole family would come. So the father, mother, brother and daughters are all living at present in Ventnor, New Jersey.
Public attention was first directed to them by their portrait painting. Some of the best-known people who sat for them in Europe are the baby Princess Glatzine, the old Hungarian Count Cziraky, Baron Gotz von Berlichingen, Baroness Gaudernak of Hungary, and Dr. Henry Eversole, chief of the Paris branch of the Rockefeller Foundation. The first two of these are in the exhibition. Three Americans they have painter are Major-General Haskell, Countess Scéchényi (the former Gladys Vanderbilt) and Senator Wadsworth.
A painter who has mastered the painting of Jewish character types, in a modern but not eccentric manner, is Frank Horowitz, who has won an important place for himself. He was born in Odessa, Russia, in 1889 and came to America in 1906. When 20 years old he entered a class at the Graphic Sketch Club of Philadelphia but supported himself during the day as a sign-painter. By winning a scholarship, he attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1917 to 1918. A permanent result of his attendance there can be seen in a "Still Life" which the Academy purchased for its collection.
In 1928 he was commissioned to go to Russia to paint representative characters in the new agricultural colonies founded by the Agro Joint Society, a movement in southwest Russia fostered by a group of Americans. He spent three months in the Crimea, Kherson and Kriboy Rog districts, which meant pending a day in each of the 15 Jewish farming colonies of the Ukraine.
Last May he held an exhibition in New York at the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society on Lafayette Street, in which this type of work was shown, as well as the scenes he painted around Beacon, New York, where there are Jewish camps.
While in Russia Horowitz painted several well-known persons, two of whom are known to this country through their participation in the rescue of the Nobile Expedition. These two are Prof. Simoilovitch, Navigator of the ice-breaker "Krassin" and Shuchnofsky, the aviator. Four other persons of prominence in Russia whom he painter are: Smidowitch, vice-President of Soviet Russia Iuncacharsky, Minister of Education; Epolitoff Evanoff, composer of music; and Oborin, pianist.
He studied in the Imperial Academy of Art in Tokio where he graduated with high honors. In Paris he work has received a great deal of attention.
He has been one of the great exponents of the Neo-Orientalism Movement of which his good friend Foujita is probably the best known member. He came to this country in February and exhibited on the coast in Seattle and San Francisco.
Ishii's uncle is in the diplomatic service and will be remembered as Ambassador to France. It was also his family who gave the name to one of the American-Japanese treaties.
Mrs. Lasky, the wife of Jesse L. Lasky of the motion picture industry, showed her first interest in the fine arts in the field of music. As a girl she studied at first at Notre Dame Academy and later at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. Her performances won her a silver and gold mdeal for piano.
It was only a few years ago that she became deeply interested in painting. She felt the urge to take up this art seriously after a visit to the studio of William Silva at Carmel-by-the-Sea in California. He was her first teacher. With him she studied composition and color. Since then she has "painted furiously" and has made a vocation of painting instead of a hobby.
During the winter after her work with Silva in California she began her study with Felicie Waldo Howell in New York, where she painted both in water color and in oil. Since then she has worked continuously in New York, Gloucester, California and France. Her paintings have been shown in the National Academy of Design, the Corcoran Gallery at Washington, the New Haven Paint and Clay Club, the Philadelphia Art Club and the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy.
One of the most remarkable figures resulting from the War is that of Jean-Julien Lemordant, Breton of St. Malo. He left his native granite ramparts for the École des Beaux arts at Rennes where, before going to Paris, to the studio of Bonnart, he studied under the sculptor Lenoir, the painter Lafont and the architect Leray. Several of Lemordant's paintings have been lent for the exhibition by Miss Malvia Hoffman.
He began his painting in Brittany where he produced landscapes and studies of sea-faring folk. This phase of his work is beautifully illustrated in the decorations which he did for the odd Hôtel de l'Épée at Quimper. His most important work, however, is his decoration of the ceiling of the Theatre at Rennes, the capital of Brittany. The original sketches for this decoration are shown in the exhibition.
Lemordant is an important figure for his tremendous physical sacrifice for France during the War. At 37, when he properly belonged in the home defense, he insisted on volunteering for front line duty. Quite by accident there was a post of sergeant in the 41st Infantry open and this was given to him. The story of his leadership and sacrifice in an epic in itself by only the horrible consequences can give an idea in a few words of what he did for his country.
He is now blind, dumb and paralyzed on the left side. But the right side, as is often true in such cases, has accumulated all the vigor of the rest of his body. Before he was paralyzed on the left side his hands and arms were remarkably powerful but, such is his indomitable will - the will that forced him to stay at the Front when he should have been retired - he still works with his right hand. He uses it for long-hand writing and for operating a typewriter and is now in the process, at the age of 51, of writing a book.
Lemordant was in the thick of the action at Charleroi, the battle of the Marne, the battle of Champagne, Artois and the action before Arras. In all of these actions he suffered wounds that should have retired him to the base hospital but he would not leave his troops. In the final action at Arras in the assault upon the German trenches he was obliged, in order to be able to walk, to have his leg put in splints formed by bayonet scabbards and strapped on with his soldiers' belts. Shortly after the action began he was struck in the forehead by a German bullet which immediately blinded him. He was left for five days and nights in the German trenches for dead and was finally picked up by the enemy. He was taken then to the Rhine cities but, in spite of his wounds, tried twice to escape. Finally he was taken to Switzerland and exchanged for German disabled prisoners.
Needless to say, he has received important decorations from the Government.
EDWARD MICHAEL McKEY
A man hade a name for himself with the Italian troops, Edward Michael McKey, is well represented in this exhibition. He was one of the first ten to operate American ambulances in France with the French army. However, when Italy entered the war, he felt his duty lay there, as he had spent ten years there studying art and had an abiding love for the country. He developed a kind of rolling kitchen that made it possible for him and his assistants to stay with the troops at all times and to be in the thick of the fighting. It was his eagerness to be of the utmost service to the actual fights that resulted in his death in the Piave battle line where he was struck by a shell.
McKey's art career began in Sibley House, the oldest stone house at Mendota, Minnesota. There was being carried on there a summer art school organized by Bert Harwood. When McKey attended this school he was 18 years old and his instructor was Miss Ina Barber, a southern woman of talent, who first awakened his keen interest in color and composition. He was fortunate in obtaining a scholarship which enabled him to attend the School of Fine Arts in St. Paul, where he remained about a year and a half. He went on developing his talent in New York, Paris, Rome, and many other foreign cities. In 1908 he went to Italy where he worked and exhibited until 1913. The War interrupted his career with the results related above.
Among the portraits painted McKey were the life-sized full-length works of Mr. Robert McClay of New York City, Barone Amerigo Serrao of Rome and Mrs. Edward Mellon, daughter of Judge Alexander Humphrey of Kentucky.
His service to France was recognized in the award of the Croix de Guerre and he was given the Silver Medal of Valor by the Italian Government in recognition of splendid efforts that held the morale at a critical moment and for bravery in action on the front line.
Fausta Vittoria Mengarini, the Italian sculptor, was brought up in the home of a scientist. Her father was Senator Guglielmo Mengarini, famous in the fields of electricity, physics and astronomy. Thus, the young artist grew up in a studious environment where she was thrown in contact with artists, authors and scholars of the day, so that her early training was a preparation for her later artistic success.
At the age of 18, and while still a student at the Fine Arts Academy, her work first began to impress Roman art critics. Her studies were completed in the galleries and museums in various European art centres and at one time she studied design under the painter, Edoardo Gioia.
Her early works include a series of terra cottas and majolicas but her reputation was established nationally by her monument to the Fallen Soldiers of Borgo in Rome. This led to her receiving commissions to execute the great medallions which form the sculptural decorations on the facade of the new Ministry of Justice in Rome.
She prefers working on a large scale, a desire which was gratified by a commission from the Italian Government for a design for a lighthouse to be constructed in the harbor at Massana to commemorate the Italian Conquest of Eritrea. She is also well-known for her portraits, among which is a bust of Mussolini that has brought considerable favorable comment.
Ugo Mochi, whose remarkable silhouettes are on of the most delightful groups in the exhibition is a versatile artist. Judging from this delicate work, on would hardly suspect the artist was a sculptor but that is his principal occupation in the fine arts. He is also an ardent student of music and has successfully appeared as a tenor on both concert and operatic stages. Mr. Mochi is an Italian and scion of one of the oldest noble families of Florence. He studied at the Academia di Belli Arti in Florence. The subjects of his silhouettes show a wide variety which entails different kinds of techniques, some of which are truly astonishing. His development of the art of the silhouette has brought it a long way from the traditional silhouette of a century ago.
Rolando was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1899. His talent for drawing and painting was evident as the early age of five years. At that time his family found him scribbling on every little scrap of paper that he could find. Finally his father realized the seriousness of his bent and gave him a box of color crayons which overjoyed the young artist.
After finishing his high school education, he entered the art school in Nuremberg and later the school in Munich, where he learned to handle water color and did still lifes, landscapes and animals. His teachers in Nuremburg were Prof. Director Paul Brochier, Prof. H. Grandl and in Munich, Prof. Julius Diez.
After completing this training, he took up commercial art and specialized in posters, He was very much helped in this work by a man well known in this field, Prof. Ludwig Hahlwein of Munich, who gave him private instruction.
After two trips to Russia during the late war, he returned to Germany and attended the art school in Munich until he was engaged as a poster artist in Hamburg. Later he became art director of the Hotel Exhibition there, an event which occurs every spring and fall. An opportunity to work in motion pictures lured him to Berlin, which resulted in his finding a second great interest in his life. In the motion pictures he worked both as actor and director and spent a great deal of his time on educational films.
It was this work that has led to his present great interest in the production of animal and expedition pictures. The animal pictures which he is showing in the exhibition are his favorite work.
These men are interesting for their modernity, as well as the fact that they are among the chief painters in what is now known as the Palestine School. This School consists of a group of Jewish artists who are living and working in Palestine.
Rubin was born in Roumania in 1893. He made his first sketch when he was two years old, and not so many year later received many a spanking for making charcoal drawing on the white-washed walls of the Hebrew school he attended. A scanty patronage helped him to visit Paris for a few months, and as representative of a leather factory he was able to visit the museums of Italy en route. During the war he was a "Technical expert" at this factory, incidentally making things easier for the village he lived in by drawing pictures of the rococo general in charge of it. He began to paint in earnest only after the war. He has had two exhibitions in New York City.
He has attained his full stature in the last few years, living in Palestine. Beside a prodigal productivity in oils - including many ambitious figure pieces - he has turned out a series of stark woodcuts quite different in spirit from the idyllic landscapes and poetic portraits in oil. Rubin has exhibited twice in Paris and has a London exhibition scheduled for next spring.
Israel Paldi was born in Russia in 1893. His childhood was spent largely in Switzerland, and he studied art with Becker-Grundahl and Habermann in Munich, which has left a marked Germanic imprint on his work and character. Nevertheless, he has submitted himself to the influence of the Palestine scene itself which had made a marked impression on him when he lived there for two years in his boyhood. During the war Paldi lived in Turkey, sailing for Palestine as soon as peace was concluded. He is at present a teacher in the Tel-Aviv high school. Hampering as this occupation is, he has a great many canvases of a high order to his credit, as well as a series of woodcuts illustrating the Book of Joshua. He has been drawn time and time again to one of the most picturesque spots in Palestine for his theme - Jaffa Harbor, the boatman picture on view being only one of four treatments of it by his hand. His work has been reproduced here in The Arts, the Dial and the Menorah Journal, but this is the first showing of his painting in America.
This artist is now living on Brooklyn Heights. He was born in Saxony, Germany, in 1884 and showed from the first his aptitude for fine arts, which was encouraged by his grandfather. In spite of the fact that he had to stop his education at the age of fourteen in order to go to work, he made this change in his life fit in with his aims. The work that he chose was lithography which he pursued for three years.
At seventeen one of his drawings won a scholarship for him at the Royal Academy of Dresden. This was his great opportunity which he was able to take advantage of with the help of his friends who rallied around the assistance of the Burgermeister of his town.
After completing his studies, he traveled through Europe and studied the masters of all countries. He submitted his work in several competitions and due to this activity won the Prix de Rome which was awarded for his portrait of his mother. In 1924 he specialized in portrait work in Germany but he soon came to the United States to study the work of American artists and submit a design for an institution which was to be erected by one of our wealthy philanthropists.
After spending three months here he decided to make this country his home. One of his connections here has been with a corporation that designs mosaic work for churches and other public buildings. A result of this was his work on the dome in the Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria in Brooklyn.
He is greatly interested in Manhattan and its skyline, as he is one of the many artists that has been attracted to Brooklyn Heights, where studios can be obtained that overlook this ever-changing scene which has been an inspiration to so many painters.
An unusual group of works are those of Kwei Teng who was born in Soochow, China, 1902. Mr. Teng has applied himself very seriously to the study of painting which included ten years of self-study in Chinese painting and ten years of self-training in the old Chinese art of finger painting, in which technique he has established his own method and style.
He continued his education at the University of Washington, where he majored in painting and sculpture and after graduation lectured on Oriental culture and taught painting to American students.
By his understanding of Oriental and Western education he hopes to be "one of the builders of the bridge between Western and Eastern civilizations".
His painting is in the pure Chinese manner but he is fully aware of the accomplishment and aims of the art of the West. Teng has exhibited in his native city in San Francisco, Rockford, Ill., and Seattle Wash. One of his bas-reliefs is permanently installed in the College of Mines Building, University of Washington.
Tihanyi is a Hungarian painter. He "was not a child prodigy in the usual sense. He showed no particular artistic gifts in his childhood, and it was not until he lost his hearing at the age of 11 that became interested in painting. He studied for two years at the Industrial Art School in Budapest, where he drew geometric forms and learned perspective. He began to draw from models when he was 21, at a private painting school in Budapest, but for the most part he is self-taught. The work of Greco, Gaugin and Cezanne had a pronounced effect on him at this time, which has not diminished with years. He has written: "I conceive of every work as mastery over the material. Critics has said much about my portrait paintings and drawings and they have generally reached false conclusions, especially when they say that I am concerned with the expression of the inmost soul. The expression of my own soul has as little to do with my work as the portraying of reality. My aim is the correct interrelation of colors and lines - the construction of the picture - which is achieved through the co-ordination of colors and the direction of movement of the lines. I try to give my pictures the appearance of the indissoluble whole, to make their mode of expression very simple and techtonical and to use very few colors."
Tihanyi is always spoken of as one of the prominent figures of the Paris Latin Quarter where he usually could be seen at the restaurants "The Dome" and "The Select".
He has had exhibitions in Budapest, Vienna, San Francisco, Boston, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Stockholm, The Hague, Amsterdam, Dresden and Paris.
Tihanyi was in vanguard of the modern movement and has weathered the storm and stress period of the artists who first broke away from the influence of the old masters. He has achieved enough of a reputation now so that his early canvases are said to have become valuable investments.
Miss Whitney is a native of Brooklyn and her early art training took place at Pratt Institute, after which she studied in Europe, travelling and painting in the galleries copying old masters. These she found the most enlightening teachers, for in studying the differing technics and trying to follow the train of thought which prompted them, she in a measure partook of their artistic creeds.
Returning to New York she began work as an illustrator but soon abandoned it for she felt her strength lay not so much in dramatic contrasts - which she considers the essence of illustration - as in space relations. So she designed wall paper friezes for the principal wall paper firms and form that gradually began work for the architects and decorators, designing overmantels, mural panels, screens and such things a pertained to room decoration. And always she painted pictures for her own pleasure, exhibiting them when occasion arose.
In the past ten years whenever she had time she experimented in the process called fresco buono, that which was practised by the Italians until the 16th century and since then fallen into disuse. She finds it very beautiful for decorative purposes and through her own formula it can be used on exterior surfaces even in this northern latitude exposed to frost and snow.
The twelve pictures now showing in the Brooklyn Museum were painted on Brooklyn Heights, a section which she has long studied and felt beautiful with a quiet simplicity of its own. These changing times are affecting this old section and already some of the houses shown in these paintings have been demolished. The square buildings of an ample period and the little gardens beside them with their old fountains and trellises overlooking the harbor and warehouses have long fascinated her. They bespeak romance and the days of clipper ships.
She has also painted a good deal in water colors, both landscapes and flowers.
One of the interesting young Mexican painters, Angel Zarraga, is well represented in the exhibition. Through his friendship with Miss Malvina Hoffman, the sculptor, has has become well known in New York and his paintings are hung in a room with well known in New York and his paintings are hung in a room with her sculptures, which can be taken to symbolize the fraternity of Pan-American art. Tangible expression of this is given in a bas-relief plaque done especially for the exhibition by Miss Hoffman.
Zarraga was born in Mexico in 1886. His father was a doctor and wished his son to follow a medical career but the boy's desire for painting and his obvious talent led his father to surrender his own plans, so that at the age of 17 Zarraga went to Paris. He decided in 1904 that he preferred Brussels with its calmer atmosphere where he could carry on more serious study and acquire purer technique.
At the age of 20, while in Spain, he had an exhibition of his work in Madrid at the National Exposition of Fine Arts in 1906. Soon after this he craved solitude, again and retired into seclusion or months at Toledo and Segovia, where he worked indefatigably. In 1911 he exhibited for the first time in Paris at the Salon l'Automne.
After considerable success there he again retired from public life to work out new experiments in cubism, from which he emerged as member of the Cubist School, This did not last long, as he was very much influenced by Renoir after meeting him and painting his Portrait at Cagnes. He also formed a close friendship for Pierre Bonnard, whom he admires greatly. The influence of these two men hanged his painting to a more direct and less, restricted style.
He began to feel the urge for expression on wide surfaces which led him into mural painting. One of his first commissions in this field was the mural decorations in the Chateau fe Vertcoeur, which he began in 1921 and carried on for five years. A later commission in 1924 was for the decoration of a little church near Paris at Suresnes and he later decorated the walls of the church at Rethel, which was destroyed during the World War and rebuilt in1925. Probably his best known work at present is the murals which he did for the Mexican Legation at Paris along with the architect, André Durand. This work included the decoration of the walls, selection of the draperies, rugs and lights.
His work can now be seen in several collections, such as that of Doucet, Besnard, Comte Philipon, Mrs. Chester Dale and the Luxembourg, where he has two canvases.

LOS ANGELES — The creator of "American Idol" sued the show's broadcaster and producer claiming they have reneged on a deal to give him a stake in a rival competition show that is about to premiere in the United States.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 'American Idol' Season 10 Grand Finale
Producer Simon Fuller is seeking an executive producer credit and the appropriate fees once "The X-Factor" — which was created by former "Idol" judge Simon Cowell — begins airing its U.S.-debut in September. His lawsuit is against Fox Broadcasting Co. and the show's production company, FremantleMedia North America.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Fox will air both "Idol" and "X-Factor," and FremantleMedia is producing both shows.

The lawsuit reignites longstanding tension between the forces that made "American Idol" one of the past decade's most popular shows in the United States.
Fuller imported the format from Britain, where he launched "Pop Idol." The U.S. version debuted in 2001 and featured Cowell as a judge whose biting remarks to contestants became a fixture and a ratings magnet.
Cowell created "X-Factor" three years later; it also premiered in England.

That prompted Fuller to sue Cowell for copyright infringement, and according to his lawsuit, Fox and Fremantle stepped in to preserve "American Idol."
Fuller's lawsuit claims he settled the case in 2005 against Cowell after Fox and Fremantle promised him that "X-Factor" would not air in the United States until 2011, Cowell would remain an "Idol" judge for five more seasons, and Fuller would be granted an executive producer credit on Cowell's show if it ever aired in the United States.

"Despite the clear agreement to grant Fuller an executive producer credit and to pay him an executive producer fee, defendants have refused to honor their obligations and have further refused to negotiate in good faith," the lawsuit states.
The U.S.-version of X-Factor will begin airing on Fox on Sept. 21.
The case is unlikely to be settled for anything remotely as cheap as a song, with both sides releasing dueling statements hours after the case wasfiled.
"Mr. Fuller has not been hired, nor performed any duties, on the U.S. version of 'The X Factor,'" Fox and FremantleMedia wrote in a joint statement. "His suit seeks payment and credit as an executive producer despite his neither having been approved by the required parties, nor hired, as such. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and we expect to prevail."
Fuller's attorney, Dale Kinsella, called the companies' position that Fuller needed to be approved as an executive producer on "X-Factor" absurd.
"Fox is contractually obligated to approve Fuller as executive producer and compensate him accordingly, and it is because of the breach of the 2005 binding agreement that the case was filed," Kinsella wrote in a statement. "Fox appears to be admitting openly that they have failed to honor the contract terms."
An initial hearing in the case is scheduled for Nov. 7 in Santa Monica, Calif.

VENICE, Italy — Florida's real estate agents and tourism authorities will probably not be using "99 Homes" in their promotional material.
The Sunshine State looks pretty shady in Ramin Bahrani's Orlando-set drama, one of 20 films competing for prizes at the Venice Film Festival.
The movie stars Andrew Garfield as an evicted construction worker who sells his soul to the devil – or at least to Michael Shannon's reptilian real estate agent – and takes a job evicting other struggling souls to earn enough money to get his family home back.
A portrait of a financial system stacked in favor of the winners, it's "Wall Street" for the subprime mortgage era, and the director says he wanted to show a different side to a state famous for "golf carts and retirees, Magic Kingdoms and castles."
Bahrani, the director of grittily naturalistic indie movies including "Chop Shop" and "Goodbye Solo," researched the film by visiting real estate agencies, hedge-fund managers, fraud attorneys and foreclosure courts in the state.
"After two or three weeks in Florida, I was dizzied by the corruption," the American director told reporters in Venice on Friday.
Garfield and Shannon also dived into first-hand research. Shannon spent time with a real estate agent, while Garfield, like his character, stayed in a motel occupied by families whose homes had been repossessed.
The actor said he found the evictees remarkably willing to talk.
"It felt like they needed to share it constantly throughout the day to make sense of it," Garfield said. "Because it felt completely irrational and of course unjust, the situation they were in.
"I think it's impossible to make a film like this without honoring the people that are living it every day."
It's a story with global resonance since the 2008 banking crisis shook the global financial system, and "99 Homes" has received praise in Italy, one of the European countries whose economy has suffered most.
The movie certainly hasn't convinced its stars of the merits of home ownership. Shannon said he's "always found mortgages suspicious."
And despite gaining stardom as "The Amazing Spider-Man," Garfield said he doesn't own property.
"I have a surfboard and a Vespa," he said.
The film is dedicated to the late film critic Roger Ebert, who championed Bahrani's work.
"He never saw the film," Bahrani said. "I told him the story one time, very, very quickly, and he gave me the thumb's up."
The director encouraged the journalists to emulate Ebert in supporting "cinema that is emotional, cinema that is about something – cinema that is more than a selfie."

For Immediate Release
12 Ways You Can Safeguard the Vote
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. - YES! Magazine has published "Checklist for a Fair Election: 12 Ways You Can Safeguard the Vote." The list appears below and can also be viewed here.
12 Ways You Can Safeguard the Vote
Are you worried that we
will wake up November 5th to find that, once again, election results in
key races are in question? Here's what you can do.
These recommendations from the staff at YES! Magazine
are simple ways you can protect your own vote-and the fairness of the
system, based on the recommendations of leading voting integrity
Please forward this checklist to others to help make our election system work.
1. Check your registration. Even if you think you're registered, you may not be. Check online at www.CanIVote.org.
2. Vote now. Check if early voting
is possible in your state. If you're voting by mail, check carefully
where you need to sign, how to seal the envelope, and how to mark the
ballot. And note: Some ballots require extra postage.
3. Practice your vote. Electronic voting machines can be difficult to use. Verifiedvoting.org
is preparing links to video demos of how to vote on the machine you
will find at your polling station. If you'll be using a paper ballot,
check out the sample included in your voter pamphlet.
4. Find out who's in charge. Make a phone list of your county and state election officials-it may save valuable time on Election Day if you need to get registration verification or other information.
5. Vote early.
Avoid the frustration of long lines. Also, if you encounter problems,
you'll have time to sort them out and may be able to help others.
6. Take your government-issued ID and your cell phone,
if you have one. If you have problems, or see problems, call a hotline
immediately (see point #9). You may not need ID to vote, but it's best
to have it. If you have trouble with your registration, ask for a
provisional ballot.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
7. Avoid Straight Party Voting, if it's an option in your state. Vote for each race individually, even if it takes a little longer.
8. Verify your vote.
If you're voting on an electronic voting machine, check the review
screen to make sure it reflects your vote. If the machine produces a
paper record, check as you go along that everything is working
correctly. If not, speak to a polling attendant-don't leave until
you're sure your vote has been properly recorded.
9. Document and report.
If you encounter difficulties, or see others experiencing difficulties
(excessive lines, voter harassment, malfunctioning machines, etc.),
make a detailed record. Get all the facts you can-location, names,
specific problem.
The best way to report problems is to
call 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683), which has volunteer lawyers in 15
locations standing by to provide rapid-response assistance. You can
also contact your party of choice. We have more suggestions here.
10. Call your candidate. If there are questions about an election result, urge your candidate to ask for an audit. Ask how you can help.
11. Call your election officials.
If you have concerns, let your county and state election officials
know, and monitor their response. Ask them not to certify the election
before all challenges and recounts are finished. And send a copy of
your message to your local newspaper editor. If you're confident about
the election result, thank the officials for a difficult job well done.
12. Work for fair, transparent elections.
66% of Americans don't trust the electronic voting machines many of us
will be voting on this November. Join the movement for election reform
in between elections. Use our YES! Tools to find out how.
Yours for democracy,
Fran Korten
Publisher, YES! Magazine

This is the world we live in. This is the world we cover.
Because of people like you, another world is possible. There are many battles to be won, but we will battle them together—all of us. Common Dreams is not your normal news site. We don't survive on clicks. We don't want advertising dollars. We want the world to be a better place. But we can't do it alone. It doesn't work that way. We need you.

Transplant (surgery)
Transplants are a type of surgery. Both tissues and organs can be transplanted. Types of transplant:
- Heart transplant
- Lung transplant
- Heart-lung transplant
- Kidney transplant
- Skin graft
- Xenotransplantation
- Autotransplantation
An organ transplant is a kind of surgery where the person being operated on will need an organ replaced, and gets a healthy one from someone else, a donor. Usually the organ is taking from someone is recently deceased, except for organs like bone marrow or kidneys which can be given without harming the donor too much.
The critical problem with all transplants is transplant rejection by the host's immune system. Unless the host and donor are a very close genetic match, the host's immune system will reject the transplant. To stop this happening, drugs are used to suppress the host's immune system. This in turn makes the host more vulnerable to various kinds of infection.
To keep this problem to a minimum, transplants are only done when surgeons are satisfied that the host and donor are a fairly close match. Tests are done to see how good a match the donor's organ of tissue is to the proposed host.

Why do we enjoy 8-bit, glitch, and other technological imagery revealing the seams of its construction? "For a while now, I've been collecting images and things that seem to approach a new aesthetic of the future, which sounds more portentous than I mean. What I mean is that we've got frustrated with the NASA extropianism space-future, the failure of jetpacks, and we need to see the technologies we actually have with a new wonder." says James Bridle about his tumblr, The New Aesthetic. "It's an aesthetic born of the grain of seeing/computation... the viewpoint of that other next nature, the robot-readable world," comments Matt Jones at BERG.

The course has the following major goals:
To introduce important tools to analyze the effect of variability . Specifically, students will be exposed to Extend simulation and analytical tools from Factory Physics.
To examine important sources of variability and their disruptive effect on processes . For example, we examine the effect of random order arrivals, setups and batching, random process times, and machines failures.
To examine several modern approaches for improving processes. Specifically, we will study the basics of cellular manufacturing and Toyota Production System.
To understand the effect of the decisions related with design and manufacture of the product on the marketing strategy of the firm.
The course will first look at processes inside a service/manufacturing operation where a request/unit has to go through several steps before it becomes a finished unit. Variability at different steps increases the expected length and the variability of the process lead-time. How to effectively manage the variability in a process depends on the "nature" and the "source" of variability. The variability in a process can be "controllable" such as the one due to mix of products that the process makes or batch sizes that the process uses, or it can be "uncontrollable" such as the one due to random machines failures.
Irrespective of the nature and the source of variability, the effect can be highly disruptive. The management needs to improve the processes to either reduce the variability (e.g., use of preventive maintenance to reduce incidences of machine failures, use of better raw materials to reduce variability in process times) or take actions to reduce the impact of variability (e.g., use of inventory buffers, increased resource flexibility, use of effective information and product flows). Uses of principals of the Toyota Production System, cellular manufacturing, and risk pooling can be very effective in improving processes.
Having examined the process lead-time, the course will then examine the processes for development of products . The cost of making even small changes later in the design process can be very high
Job Titles that Involve Topics Studied:
- Plant Manager
- Process Analyst
